•
If insufficient pressure is applied to the image, bubbles can
form when the film is lifted off. Make sure to apply enough
pressure, particularly around the edges and corners.
•
Set the iron for 160°C/320°F (cotton). If the iron has outlet
holes for steam, set the iron to Dry and avoid the holes, using
a flat part of the iron.
3. Lift off the finishing sheet after the paper and the film have
cooled completely.
Note
If the paper and film have not cooled completely, the film will not
come off smoothly.
4. Starting with the corners, peel off the film, making sure
that the film comes off smoothly.

Curl Correction
When you transfer an image on a thin sheet of paper, the sheet
may still be curled up after peeling off the back print film. In this
case, correct the curl with the following procedure.
1. Place a sheet of plain paper (paper for copiers) on top of
the transferred image on the curled sheet.
